In addition, I am a very friendly person who likes humor and fun. This does not mostly affect my studies because I try to separate the two. It is mostly about prioritizing and being discipline.

HYPERCITIGH: Could you tell us some of the things you encountered along while in KNUST and your Program and what lessons you took from them

MASTER EDWIN AMPONSAH: Being part of the MasterCard Scholars community is definitely one of the indelible experiences I had at KNUST. We are a family and a community that just wanted to make life better for ourselves and other people. One lesson I drew from my stay here at KNUST in general is that if you are passionate, committed and discipline about something you are doing then you can certainly turn that into a success story.Master Edwin AmponsahHYPERCITIGH: How did you feel when you were called to give your valedictory speech?

MASTER EDWIN AMPONSAH: It was simply amazing. I felt inspired.

HYPERCITIGH: What was your speech about and why did you choose to talk about that of all topics?

MASTER EDWIN AMPONSAH: One key lesson I sought to drive home was about procrastination. I know there were many stuff we wanted to do as students like building our own business, taking a professional course etc. but we have always told ourselves that we will be doing that after school and that moment at graduation was when that time started.

I love learning new things so I put a lot of work into that.
